Just a quick note to let folks know that FullAsAGoog has a webservice for repurposing the blended feed from the site.
The webservice is a prototype: so it may change from time to time. It's effectively a cut down version of the data that is available on the website. If you would like to see additional information or functions in the webservice just let me know.
The WSDL file can be introspected at:
http://fullasagoog.com/packages/googService.cfc?wsdl
It's very simple -- returning a standard CFMX query object. I've heard non CFMX technologies can have trouble with this feed -- if you're keen to play with the webservice and you do experience difficulties I can always put in a function that outputs an array of structures or whatever -- again, let me know.
Feel free to use the webservice as you wish -- an acknowledgement or a link to the Goog would be nice in return. People who want to use the webservice for something serious should let me know so I can warn you if I need to change the webservice in anyway. The Goog server is pretty stable and typically has above 99% uptime.
Enjoy!

Well done Geoff,
I have been waiting for you to do this.
I have put together a simple Flash GUI (mostly for my learning -- includes download) and it includes a local SharedObject to save the blend selected. Might be of use to anyone wanting a quick start.

Keep up the great work Geoff.

Hi Geoff, there seems to be a problem with the WSDL :-(

I am trying to figure out how to create web services that I can use from Flash. I'm returning an XML document in a java String. I get the string just fine in MX 2004 Pro but can't use it in the webservicesconnector like I can with yours. Can you send me the source code, or the signature of the getBlogsOnTap() method? I would greatly appreciate your help.
